Track & Field
Athletics Junior Ilkley Harriers, established 2003

As part of our Monday and Thursday general summer coaching programme
we are able to offer outdoor track and field athletics at Ghyll Royd School
(Monday) and the Ilkley Grammar School playing fields (Thursday). We are
able to do Hurdles, Long Jump, Triple Jump, Hammer, Javelin, Shot, Discus
as well as track running (sprinting) and relays. All these activities
are outside whatever the weather, so a waterproof coat and a sence of
humour are essential!

We also do more specific indoor Track & Field coaching sessions at
Ghyll Royd School during the winter on a Tuesday for those athletes who
want to compete. This includes Running (sprint starts, baton handovers
& hurdling), Jumping (long, triple and high), throwing (shot and javelin).

Junior Ilkley Harriers do not compete in any national Track & Field
Leagues but we do encourage our athletes to compete at local friendly
meets. We have listed a number of meets below that we think you'd like
to have a go at in 2017. Entry forms can be found on the appropriate website.
AAA common standard cloth badges and certificates will be presented at
the annual junior presentation evening.

The JIH Track & Field Award is based on the ESAA
Primary and Secondary Award scheme. We present individual running, jumping
and throwing badges and certificates as well as awards for Combined Events
- Triathlon, Quadrathlon and Pentathlon. In order for a junior to gain
an award they must compete at a minimum of 4 meets this summer. All awards
will be presented at the annual presentation evening next March.
